I did some quick research & although we've had some sunny weather in the past, this could potentially be the clearest since 2010!
Today is the pick of the week with low humidity & plenty of sun.
Tomorrow is mostly sunny and similar.
Sunday is hot & humid.
Rain returns Monday night & daily for most of the week. Uncertain if there will be a tropical connection to the rain.

Strong storms last night have moved out and a broad area of dry air from Canada is pushing in. We have a gorgeous & comfortable day in the forecast today and similar conditions with just a few more clouds on Saturday. Sunday is hot and humid but also likely dry, and then a chance for rain will arrive daily for the work week. Here is the day-to-day breakdown:

THIS AFTERNOON: Ample sunshine and less humid. Highs in the low 80s. Wind NW at 10-20 mph.

THIS EVENING: Pleasant, temperatures are in the 70s for evening BBQ's and Independence Day firework displays.

SATURDAY: Morning lows in the 60s, then highs return to the low and mid 80s with a few passing midday clouds.

SUNDAY: A mix of sun and clouds with morning lows near 70 and afternoon highs in the mid 80s.

MONDAY: Breezy with sun and clouds. Winds NW at 15-20 mph. Highs in the low 80s for the south shore, near 90 for north shore.

REST OF THE WEEK: Daily showers and storms possible.
